Yippee!

Yippee! First day free of antibiotics. I am happy I had them, of course,  because they cured my complaint, but the side effects of the medication were horrid.

The other good news - Yippee! - is that I am going to Colorado in November to see Isaac and Wendy and the girls -

 

My ticket is booked, and now I am trying to make sense of  tests and testing times. 

These are certainly testing times. I was horrified when getting my travel insurance that my recent illness has cost me £200 extra this year. And my last provider wouldn't even offer me an annual policy. 

Dave came into the study when I was wrestling with this and when he heard the prices he said : "Could you just go there and die if you were ill?"

I hooted with laughter. 

Later he came in and said it wasn't so bad. I should think of the cost of the holiday as being the cost of two holidays - with me away, he gets a holiday too.

Aspies...you've got to love 'em.

We are currently glued to a Netflix series called Love on the Spectrum, about aspies trying to start dating. It's respectfully and beautifully done. It's touching and excruciating and very moving. What a harsh and difficult world it is for aspies. I wish they were more understood.

It just occurred to me that this is where I should recommend my novel  - But I Told You Last Year That I Loved You - for those of you who haven't read it. 

An Amazon reviewer said this - 

This book is an entertaining read while introducing some nuggets of revelation and ahah moments for anyone who has ever wondered if a friend or acquaintance or ... perhaps even partner actually is an alien, or just wired very differently!

I enjoyed "But I Told You Last Year That I Loved You...." so much that I have, so far, bought 5 copies as gifts for friends and relations not just because they will undoubtedly gain pleasure from reading it but also a discussion starter about how things can be...
